What year was the bodyline ashes series in cricket? 1932
Who is Prime Minister John Howard's favourite recording artist? Answer: Bob Dylan!! This is a particularly good TRIVIA question because although the answer has appeared in the public arena [television], it has appeared only once to my knowledge and is not the kind of information generally found in a google or wikipedia search, or even in John Howards media profile. A great fun piece of trivia about a current and long standing public figure. It is also an answer that may surprise many people, and that is important in Trivial pursuit...!! The alternative red herring false answers could also make it a difficult and fun question. Finally, since the answer is so recent, it gives players of all ages a chance to know it...not just those born 40 years ago...and since it appeard on a music programme, chances are that more younger viewer may actually know the answer than their older family members, who may pride themselves on their knowledge of politics or politicians!!

What famous Australian was a co-founder of Mensa, the high IQ society that currently has over 100,000 members in over 100 countries? Mensa was founded in Oxford in 1946 by an eccentric, flamboyant Australian and a reserved Englishman. They had met by chance on a train. The Australian was Roland Berrill, a barrister educated in England. The Englishman was Lancelot Ware, at the time a mature student at Oxford, who was later to gain a string of qualifications in science and the law. Ware is credited with the idea of Mensa, but it was Berrill who "founded" the society in the usual sense, on 1 October 1946. Berrill supplied the start-up cash, wrote the idiosyncratic pamphlets and became Mensa'a first Secretary. He died a few years later, having recruited in total around 400 people by self-administered IQ tests. Dr Lancelot Ware dropped out of Mensa for many years but later rejoined and was a member until his death in 2000, with the title "Fons et Origo" from his claim that the original idea was his.
